London's Private Clubs

London used to be full of small private members clubs of varying degrees of respectability. These days, they are much rarer. One such is adverised by this discreet brass plaque - the "Club for Acts and Actors", or the Concert Artistes Association in Bedford Street, Covent Garden. The've been around since 1897. Whenever I see one of these old clubs I feel a small sadness that I'm not part of it.Checkout the website to find out what they offer behind this closed door.

I know what you mean- I always feel like I want to be a part of it, having said that it doesn't look very welcoming and I am no actor. Enjoyed reading your blog, your blog about awful shop names was a favourite- Curl Up and Dye is brilliant! I'm goung to add you to my favourites so I can come back.Rosie x
